Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1.5 lbs halved baby new potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and half the chopped rosemary and thyme on a large sheet pan. Spread potatoes in a single layer and roast for 20 minutes.
2. Step 2: While potatoes roast, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp lemon zest, 2 tbsp lemon juice, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and remaining chopped rosemary and thyme in a small bowl.
3. Step 3: After 20 minutes, add 1 lb trimmed asparagus spears and 4 salmon fillets skin-side down to the sheet pan. Brush salmon and asparagus with the herb-lemon oil mixture evenly.
4. Step 4: Roast everything together for an additional 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily, asparagus is tender, and potatoes are golden on edges.
5. Step 5: Serve warm, spooning any pan juices over the salmon and vegetables for extra flavor.
